A basic principle of pharmacovigilance is the Hippocratic rule “do good or do no harm”, and its permanent goal is the security and promotion of Public Health through continual observation of safeguard data of pharmaceutical products, which are in the market in order to secure the right of patients to have safe and effective medicines. At the same time, PhV contributes to the enrichment of the knowledge of undesirable acts of medicines and takes necessary measures for their more correct and surer use.
